lyrics

Violated
In the gloom of nightly shade.
Desire laden,
Swarming limbs overtake.
Obfuscated,
Feeble voice cannot exclaim.
Horizon darkened,
Sown are the seeds of disdain.

Hate and pain forevermore,
Carrying a burden, unwanted,
Undeserved, is sure.
How to carry on?
To live life on
With disgust unborn?

Scorn and spite shall adorn,
When her eyes lain upon her womb,
Her defiled core.
Why should she go on
To nurture the spawn
Of degeneracy enthralled.
Enthralled

Spellbound to lust
And carnal pulse.
Sanity to dust
And flesh to the wolves.

Precipitous,
End this dragooned torment.
To precipice flung,
Drowned are the fruits of contempt.

To the raging seas, disposed.
Stirred inside the foaming, churning waves,
The siphoning storm.
Sink to the abyss,
Surrender this gift
To the final bliss.

Born anew in the watery turmoil.
Skin to scale and death to life again,
To Poseidon, borne.
Endlessly go on
To torture their spawn,
See degeneracy undone.

Spellbound to lust
And carnal pulse.
Sanity to rust
Where flesh is enthroned.

Eldritch curse, malediction,
Ancient thirst, necromancy,
From sombre depths, rise to exact their demise.
Salt and foam to the tide cling,
Washes in sunken victims.
Lured to the sea by the deceitful echo of songs

From the waves.

Eldritch verse, benediction,
Ancient churches, cryomancy
From sombre depths, rise to see pains in their eyes.

From the waves.

Seek
Their end,
The beasts with one-track minds.
For all the suffering dealt,
Payment is given back in kind.
Seek
To end
The witch with a silver tongue.
For those, her song has claimed,
One would have her lungs.

To flay the sunken ones
To slay and silence their arias

Seek
Their end,
Bespoiling, human grime.
Groping with infamy,
A disconcerting crime.
Bound
To capture, torture,
Hook and sink the line.
The revenge Rusalki seek
To that of fishermen, binds.


Spellbound to lust
And carnal pulse.
Sanity to rust
Where flesh is enthroned

Dire finale, as the curved prong pierces scale.
Dragged from the deep, through the coarse and drying sand...
